Assassin's Creed Shadows allows players to indulge in several side activities away from the main story quests to gain high-quality loot and level up their characters. One of the most interesting side activities is exploring kofun scattered around the map. These ancient burial chambers contain a legendary chest and some rare ones that can help players gear up pretty quickly. Here's a complete list of all the kofuns in AC Shadows and their locations.

All Kofuns Locations in Assassin's Creed Shadows

AC Shadows Megalithic Vault Opening the Legendary Chest

There are a total of 10 kofuns located in different regions that players can discover in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Each kofun is designed like a maze and will require players to solve complex puzzles in order to reach the legendary chest at the end. They're marked as orange hexagons on the map, showcasing a "keyhole" shape. Let's check out all the kofuns and their locations within the game.

It's best that players unlock Yasuke first, as some of the kofuns below require him to be completed. This is because Yasuke can carry heavy objects like explosive jars and move around objects like large crates. So, Naoe won't be able to even enter half of these kofuns, let alone complete them.

Makino Kurumazuka	Yasuke	Yawata Plains, Izumi Settsu	Blush of the Earth legendary bow

Chasuriyama Kofun	Naoe	Chasuriyama, Tamba	Scarlet Fate legendary tanto

So, these were all the kofuns players can complete and get legendary chests from in Assassin's Creed Shadows. Solving the complex puzzles these ancient burial mounds offer is quite fun, and you should definitely find and complete them in the game.
